American Sport Channel signed Conf USA back in July. If my memory serves me right the tv possibility and the date is why Porter chose UTSA over some of other schools that were open. He has realized that Loyola doesn't have anyone involved that has the connections to help arrange scheduling. I thought the MSU game was a good arrangement too. We got 90k and TV exposure. The kids got to play in a big time college environment. That was Porter's doing also. In my opinion that's progress in the way he schedules. He still has a way to go but that's progress. He will face increasing pressure from Kelly through Watson to take more guarantee games, but 2 should be max.
In a perfect world, we would have none. Realistically, 2 should be the max. But when you don't put together a schedule early and things fall apart, you have to adapt. I'd rather us have 3 guarantee games which bring in a ton of money and maybe a little TV exposure than have 2 non D1 opponents, especially considering the 2 awful bunnies we have in the Vegas tournament and the fact that UIC is coming off a season where they were practically a D2 team.
